1619119435Honolulu: Bishop Museum Press 1916-1917. Rare complete first edition set of Fornander's foundational work on Hawaiian history and legend. Quarto 9 parts in 3 volumes bound in three quarters 20th century calf with red morocco spine labels lettered in gilt gilt ruling and stamping to the spine in six compartments within raised bands original wrappers bound in. In fine condition. A rare and desirable complete first edition set. In 1831 Swedish-born ethnologist Abraham Fornander emigrated to America where he soon joined the whaleship Ann Alexander which departed from New Bedford Massachusetts in 1841 a five-year campaign in the Pacific Ocean. In 1844 he deserted the ship in Honolulu and soon became a citizen of the Kingdom of Hawaii marrying a Hawaiian chiefess from Molokai named Pinao Alanakapu in 1847. After founding several publications in Hawaii Fornander was appointed to the circuit court a position that allowed him to do extensive travel within the islands and learn a great deal about Hawaiian mythology and language. Fornander paid special attention to legends and genealogies that he thought preserved the history of the Hawaiian islands after their settlement--their external and internal wars dynastic quarrels and eventually their contact by Captain James Cook and George Vancouver. On his death in 1887 his voluminous research passed to the Bishop Museum who eventually ensured their publication. Bishop Museum Press hardcover books
